The biggest spaces Orléans can offer
Nothing in Orléans is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 500 seats, at Harold Shenkman Hall.
Capacities are the figure the venue or an encyclopaedia entry published. They are usually the seated maximum, and the same room in banquet or reception layout can differ by half. Confirm the layout you want before you plan around a number.
Arrival logistics
Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW) is 20 km (12 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
Orléans keeps Toronto time (America/Toronto), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.
Gatineau, Gloucester and Ottawa are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Orléans has nothing free on your dates.

No exhibition hall on record

Pricing this against a real Orléans room
Take 500 people through the door in Orléans — sized to Harold Shenkman Hall, the largest stated capacity in the Orléans dataset. The first 50 activated attendees are free on every event, so only the rest are billed, and the total stops moving at 1,000 however many more turn up.

- 450billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at CA$7 each
- CA$3,150for the whole event, at CA$7 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Orléans does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
Matching the room to the format
500 seats is the largest room on record, so Orléans suits a training programme, a regional chapter meeting or a single-track conference rather than an exhibition.
- award ceremonies
1 fixed-seat house gives you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
